Vandals Destroy Ancient Rock Carvings in Northern Greece

Unknown vandals destroyed 3,000 year-old paintings carved into granite and limestone at Mount Pangaion, near Kavala in northern Greece, it was revealed on Tuesday.

The carvings were discovered in 1966 by Aristotle University Professor Nikolaos Moutsopoulos but have not been listed for preservation and are therefore vulnerable to the elements and human activity.

Virus from shrews linked to unexplained deaths in Europe
Disease has gone ‘unnoticed in humans for at least decades’, experts warn

A virus that can jump from shrews to humans could be to blame for previously unexplained deaths in Europe, scientists have found.

A study of brain tissue samples from more than 50 patients who died from encephalitis, or brain swelling, over 20 years has identified eight new cases of the Borna virus.

The research, published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, suggests where the virus exists in the wild it could be the cause of unexplained encephalitis cases.
